Rancho Sedona RV Park

This place is fantastic! It's centrally located and right on Oak Creek. We felt really safe leaving our RV there unattended to go out and explore every day.
The place is clean and the upkeep of the grounds and sites is constant. The bathrooms and showers are cleaned daily. There's even propane delivery each Wednesday!
We initially booked a 1 week stay but kept extending our time there, back and forth between boondocking and the RV park. Not one negative thing to say. We will definitely be back!

Great location - walking distance to downtown and easy driving access to all that Sedona has to offer. Really clean, manicured grounds. Quiet and peaceful.

As others have mentioned, not the friendliest staff and the rules/signage are really over the top. You kind of feel like you're intruding! It's also pretty expensive for the amenities offered and it would be helpful if they could book online and/or at least send an email confirmation. I get anxious when I don't receive any sort of confirmation when it's a destination like this..

Reservations are by telephone only. Rancho Sedona requires a credit card at the time of makeing the reservation. Check in is at noon, if early they have an overflow lot. If arriving at noon or later proceed straight to your reserved site, then go by office. The check in is smooth and the office staff is very professional. They will take the time to explain the do's and don't's of the RV park. You leave with a very good understanding of their rules. The sites are gravel and vey level. Our site had 30/20 amp electrical with water, sewer and cable TV. It also had a paved patio with picnic table. This is a very clean and well organized park. I watched park staff rack the sites level, hand clean the picnic table and power post. And sweep the patio. The bathrooms (at least the Men's room) are small but adequet. In between the men's and women's bathrooms is a coin operated laundry. Its $2.50 for 30 minutes for washing machine and $2.25 for 50 minutes of dryer use. The showers and toilets were extremely clean. This RV park appears to be an older property, but it is very well maintained. In Addition, The park location enables one to walk to Sedona shops and restuarants. I think the the site price is a good value for the location and the cleaniness of the grounds and facilities.

Pros:
Close to town, immaculate grounds, fairly quiet, laundry facility, clean restroom/showers & level sites with full hookups.

Cons:
Overpriced, no hot tub/pool, can’t have fires, sites are a decent size but would’ve hoped for a bit more given the price & no view of the red rocks from sites.

Free WiFi, but it was pretty slow.

While we appreciated the distance to downtown Sedona, there are definite drawbacks to this RV park. They are:

1. The unfriendly demeanor of the front desk people (noted by several other guests in their reviews).
2. The s-l-o-w wi-fi. I mean soooooooo slow. We ended up tethering to our cell phones to do anything, even email.
3. The signage everywhere, lest you forget that you might make a noise walking across the gravel. We are quiet and very respectful of our neighbors and have stayed in numerous RV parks where everyone else has been the same. The signage here is seriously over-the-top and it does make it feel like they are doing YOU a favor by letting you stay here.....if everyone had been really nice, it wouldn't have been so noticeable.
4. The cost....it's not cheap.
5. The lack of any view at most of the sites. Unless you are right next to the creek, the views here are non-existent (meaning you are looking at a fence and/or the RV next to you).
6. The lack of restrooms. There is only ONE women's and men's room here for over 80 sites. You will have zero privacy in the bathroom.

There have to be prettier and friendlier places to stay near/in Sedona, so we'll explore more and likely not return to this one. All that being said, you can walk (along a two-lane highway with no sidewalk) to shops, etc., so the geographic location itself is very convenient.

The park is clean and very shady! Restrooms and laundry are great. We enjoyed the park and the location very much and have already booked a return visit. The location is within walking distance to shops and restaurants, and there are hiking trails right from your back door. The only negative - they are so popular that they book up fast, so advance planning is required.

While the campsites are decent and the location is very convenient, there is certainly nothing to justify this campground's incredibly high prices. If you read other reviews, you'll see that the people who work at the front desk are known for their brusque demeanor. While we didn't find them to be particularly difficult, they weren't overly warm either. For the high prices they charge, guests shouldn't have to worry about anyone being less than friendly and welcoming.

More irritating were the pervasive rules that this place is known for. It's not just that they have a lot of rules and policies, and it's not just that they plaster those rules and policies on signs covering every inch of the place. It's that the overall tone of all these rules and signs is extremely condescending. They treat their (very high paying) customers like juvenile delinquents who needs to be admonished about every single thing all day long. Frankly, it's a bit insulting.

Additionally, while we were there, there was a huge snow storm that overtook the area, dumping some 12-18 inches of heavy wet snow on the park. The park is known for having a large staff of landscape guys constantly working in the park, and we saw them working away the day before the storm hit. Yet, when we were buried in snow, no one came around to offer any assistance. While they plowed the main driveway into the park, they made no effort to remove the snow in the camping loops, they didn't put salt or sand down to help make walking safer (each day there would be significant melting followed by a hard freeze each night, so walking in the mornings was treacherous), and while they eventually cleared off the patios at sites for incoming guests, they made no effort to dig out those of us who were already there. I don't know of any RVers traveling around with snow shovels and not everyone carries a ladder with them (we offered our neighbor our ladder and help clearing his slides). For the exorbitant prices this place charges, they could have made some effort to help their guests handle a pretty significant snowstorm. At the very least, they should have made an effort to keep the roads and walkways passable and safe.

All in all, we were not impressed with this place and would not recommend it. You could stay at Dead Horse Ranch State Park 20 minutes away for a fraction of the price and none of the condescending attitude.
